They kinda had to do it if George was willing to take the extension but that is going to be a rough contract in the last couple years.

I think it is more true then ever. How much better is Adams then, say, Dwight Howard or Hassan Whiteside (in addition to the previously mentioned Gasol)? Adams is a good player, but I think that list of centers show exactly why he isn't worth the money - he doesn't have the perimeter skills defensively to keep up with those guys and doesn't have the offensive skills to make small ball teams worry playing a PF at C. OKC was +1 with Adams on the bench these playoffs, -50 with him in the game.

Almost every center making more than about $5 is overpaid other than the top 6-8 because the production in the next 30-40 is so similar.

I ####### hope not. Grant was a good player and I'm sad to see him go, but if that is the money he was going to get, it's probabaly for the best.

His shot fell more than I thought it would and I thought he did better against the big time SFs (Leonard/George/Lebron) than expected - he can't lock them down, but he can be left alone on them well enough. Paired with Porter, he can take the tougher assignment defensively and has just enough offensive skill and shooting ability not to muck things up. Porter's rebounding negates what is Grant's biggest weakness.

I'm gonna be pretty upset if Grant leaves. He is the piece that will make MPJ viable.

God'sgift Achiuwa... That's a hell of a name.

Alrighty Stephen A. Sorry for interrupting.

Nobody wants Rivers or Crawford with their contracts, they would be throw ins to match salary, so I doubt both would be needed. Ultimately, it's all moot anyway, the Clippers have nothing of value to include in a trade other than Brice Johnson and an expiring JJ Redick. The Clippers do need to be looking into making a trade, IMO. Redick, Paul, and Griffin are all going to be free agents. Redick is going to be getting close to $20 million a year, Paul is going get close to $40 million a year, and Griffin will be getting close to $30 million a year. That is on top of the $23 million for Jor

Melo for a couple ####ty contracts isn't something you would want? Where is the downside?
